The goal of this observational study is to learn about in former COVID-19 patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: * are there any association among pain, fear of falling, fall frequency, and physical activity level * are there any difference between former COVID-19 elders and non-COVID-19 elderly population
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment

We will ask participants about their age, gender, height, weight, education level, medical history, number of falls in the last 1 year, status and length of COVID-19-related hospitalizations, and whether they have gotten the COVID-19 vaccine. The participants will be interviewed in person as part of the evaluation process. The Modified Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Fall Efficacy Scale-International, and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale will be used to assess the participants' levels of pain, fear of falling, and physical activity, respectively.
